Published: December 21, 2004

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said yesterday that human remains recovered in October from an excavation in Lindenwood, Queens, have been positively identified. The remains are those of Dominick Trinchera and Philip Giaccone, both of whom were killed, along with a third man, Alphonse Indelicato, in 1981, the authorities said. They were all captains in the Bonanno crime family, the F.B.I. said. Mr. Indelicato's body was recovered only weeks after the murders, near the location where the remains of Mr. Trinchera and Mr. Giaccone were unearthed.
